In more normal Sufjan Stevens news than what popped up yesterday, Sisyphus-- the collaboration between Sufjan, Serengeti, and Son Lux formerly known as s/s/s-- has released a new video, via Vogue. It's billed as a "lyric video" for the song "Alcohol" from Sisyphus' previously reported self-titled album, out March 18 via Asthmatic Kitty and Joyful Noise. But the lyrics are barely in it. Rather, it's a collage of images of various celebrities (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Kanye, Obama, Bush, etc.), movies (Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Gravity, etc.), news events, and Sufjan himself. Watch it below.

The album is inspired by the work of artist Jim Hodges. It's released in tandem with "Jim Hodges: Give More Than You Take", a comprehensive survey of Hodges' work that is on display at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis from February 15 to May 11.

"His stuff is mostly abstract and it generally avoids a clear narrative, so there wasn’t a lot of literal conceptualization going on. We just kept his prints nearby and listened closely to its subconscious. Some of it is more obvious: sex, AIDS, drugs, fear of death, loneliness, love and beauty. We took some text directly from titles, but mostly kept the references loose. Jim’s work is meticulous, well-crafted and sentimental on the surface, but there’s some dark shit under all that ornamentation; I think this aesthetic informed our approach: we wanted to make ear candy—catchy raps and pretty love songs. But if you inspect some of the content, you’ll uncover some bleak events. Also those gold and metallic boulders Jim made were an obvious influence on our name change. It’s the Sisyphus stone with bling."
